/authorizations_url is still a thing in the / endpoint under 2026-03-10 contrary to the documentation #7053

Description

@jsoref

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/about-the-rest-api/breaking-changes?apiVersion=2026-03-10 says:

Remove authorizations_url from the API root (GET /) The OAuth Authorization API has been deprecated since 2020.

So, why do I still see it advertised?
